Cognitive impairment is one of the most common symptoms of multiple sclerosis. The purpose of this study was to compare the  information processing speed in patients with MS and non-affected individuals. 38 patients with MS(Twenty-25 patients with Relapsing- Remitting of MS and 13 patients with Progressive- Relapsing  MS). And 38 non-affected individuals with the Stroop test performed with the patient group. For data analysis, independ t-test was used. The results of this study showed that patients with MS had a weaker performance in the Stroop test than in the healthy group. In other words, patients spent more time to take the test and showed more error. Also, the group of MS patients with Relapsing- Remitting had a weaker performance in the Stroop test than those with Progressive- Relapsing MS. Regarding the damage to cognitive domains of patients with MS And its significant impact on their quality of life, Examine and accurate identification of cognitive rehabilitation programs should be one of the priorities of experts.
